@batrogers asked:

Also, second prompt, Tundra or Gaoler in recycled materials? (Also hello fellow Flight Rising fan!)

Hello fellow FR fan! :D I have drawn my very colorful boy!

I am super pleased with how this one came out. A recycled pudding jar, with a thin layer of tissue paper glued to it, colored with sharpies, and black details gone over with acrylic paint to be more opaque. It's so pretty when the light goes through it, and the colors reflect on the shiny buttons inside :3

I found a horrible falling apart Christmas angel at the thrift store.

So I pulled it apart.

And built it a sturdier core out of cardboard to replace that ridiculous plastic cone.

I shaped out the body with bits of cardboard and fabric.

Then made a better outfit from scraps of cotton.

First coat of grey paint, mixed with a bit of water so it saturated and hardened the fabric.

Second coat of paint filled in any spots I missed, gave it some color variation, and added mossy spots.

I went into a fugue state today and made 90% of a medieval-ish kirtle. How? Idk. But it happened.

As a person who usually buys fabric by the yard (or bolt) I am deeply fascinated but I suppose unsurprised by how leather is sold.  Its like: Do you want half a cow?  Look here’s the legs and that direction was the head.  Or maybe a portion of the shoulders or that long strip along the belly?  They might price the stuff by the square foot, but I haven’t the foggiest how they work that one out…  (A grid perhaps?) 

Anyways, I now have half a cow hide (very thick, bendy, no hair).  And a long skinny strip from an entirely different cow (even thicker, not bendy, still no hair).  I am very pleased.

I have a variety of upcycled crochet yarn baskets, bowls and other little bits. I love crocheting these colourful quirky designs, that I make up with all my scrap yarn 🧶

My birthday month! A very full month again, I had to finish a lot of uni work but it is interesting so I´ll include it in my monthly recap. I really yearn for the summer though, some more free time to catch up and catch a break!

Some coding & prototyping for a uni course. I love studying design cause I can tell you that I´m building a mad max inspired walker and it is true.

I started DIYing a picture frame with my old beads cause I felt like it.

We had a uni exhibition and I displayed some of my projects :)

Finally (finally!!) finished a penpal letter (I always need ages cause I like to yap & am a perfectionist).

Another uni project - a small graphic novel! I made mine about my wish as a child to wander through Erebor instead of the school haha.

And lastly, the mushroom hat my beloved. Not only did it turn out fine, we did a fantasy birthday photoshooting and it turned out just magical

You're going out today?

Don't forget about your rose quartz knife. Trust me, it's gonna protect you from bullshit. 💭 Imagine building an entire artillery of spiritual consumables.. Mapping them out in Obsidian and trying to fill an entire Campfire worth of consumables in the event someone wants to try their hand at your desired reality.

What reality you ask?

Turning life into a video game of course.

Also someone with chronic illness? My acts of service consumable features an extra spoon… for you.

Every week, (today in the next twenty minutes) I'll be in my Discord chat finishing up the love languages section of this project. Come watch.

Just a nice, quiet craft day to heal the soul

There's a secret!

Some of my favorite details:

I have so many book nooks in my collection. I'll show some more off sometime, but this one was really fun and cute.

I felt this deep in my soul.

Anyone else ever try to cut a dildo in half? It's surprisingly difficult.

I am learning to crochet. Because my sister somehow talked me into getting this kit called a Wooble. It's a total beginner's kit. You get this cool, smooth yarn that basically feels like t-shirt material, with the first part already done; a crochet hook; stitch/round markers; all the stuff to finish it; and a QR code and password to a series of stupidly detailed, step-bby-step tutorial videos.

I am making a penguin.

I just finished my first round, and I am stupidly proud of myself. The first stitch is too big, I think. But the rest look reasonably even. And it seemed like it was getting twisted while working on it, but looking at it, I don't think it is. And, I am really confident in my increase stitches, now. (Okay, I admit to losing track of which step I'm on and having to count stitches to remember if I'm halfway through or completely through with a stitch. But hopefully I will learn some tricks for that as I go on.

I like this kit, though. Because it's started for you, you start with learning a single crochet (and how to then turn that into an increase stitch). Little dude is oval, so I'll eventually learn how to decrease. And THEN, it gets to what I consider to be the hard part of how do you START the thing, when it's time to do the belly.

Anyway... here is my first round. The stitch marked in orange was the first one I did, so I just did the very outer part. Everything before that was done for me.

I'll post updates as I go, but taking a break for now to get some writing done.
